Paragraph 2. “CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”
490
To become the mother of the Saviour, Mary “was enriched by God with gifts
appropriate to such a role.”132 The angel Gabriel at the moment of
the annunciation salutes her as “full of grace”.133 In fact,
in order for Mary to be able to give the free assent of her faith to the
announcement of her vocation, it was necessary that she be wholly borne by
God’s grace.
